Congenital umbilical cord hernia is fairly common in infants and it is rarely associated with other anomalies. Sometimes, large umbilical cord hernia is confused with Small omphaloceles. We report an unusual case of umbilical cord hernia associated with patent vitello-intestinal duct (PVID), and Meckel's diverticulum underwent surgery and discharged with good general condition.

Granuloma annulare is self-limiting cutaneous condition of unknown etiology, causing necrobiotic dermal and subcutaneous papules. A number of conditions have been described in association with Granuloma annulare, including lymphoma, anemia, intestinal bleeding, seronegative arthralgia, vasculitis and autoimmune thyroiditis. This manuscript, as the first report of this combination in Iran, descr...

Immunoglobulin (Ig) A represents the predominant antibody isotype produced at the intestinal mucosa, where it plays an important role in limiting the penetration of commensal intestinal bacteria and opportunistic pathogens. We show in mice that Peyer's Patch-derived dendritic cells (PP-DC) exhibit a specialized phenotype allowing the promotion of IgA production by B2 cells. This phenotype inclu...

pyoderma gangrenosum is a rare inflammatory skin condition characterized by progressive and recurrent skin ulceration of destructive course. It is usually associated with rheumatoid arthritis, paraproteinemia, myeloproliferative diseases and inflammatory bowel diseases, especially non-specific ulcerative proctocolitis. In these situations, skin lesions are described as concurrent with the intes...

The article reviews the intestinal ischemia theme on newborn and children. The intestinal ischemia may be either acute - intestinal infarction (by vascular obstruction or by reduced mesenteric blood flow besides the occlusive mechanism), either chronic. In neonates, acute intestinal ischemia may be caused by aortic thrombosis, volvulus or hypoplastic left heart syndrome. In children, acute inte...

Caecal volvulus is an infrequently encountered clinical condition and an uncommon cause of intestinal obstruction. Patients with this condition may present with highly variable clinical presentations ranging from intermittent, self limiting abdominal pain to acute abdominal pain associated with intestinal strangulation and sepsis. Lack of familiarity with this condition is a factor contributing...

Alteration of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) expression influences the pharmacokinetics of P-gp substrates after intestinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R). Fasting before intestinal I/R affects intestinal I/R injury. However, the effect of fasting on the alteration of P-gp expression after intestinal I/R has not been clarified. We previously reported that P-gp expression was altered after intestinal I/R fol...
